| dc.description.abstract | Browntop millet (Brachiaria ramosa L.) is an important small millet, rich in micronutrients and fiber content. It is hardy crop growing in moisture and nutrient limiting condition. It is rich in nutrients, much work not done on planting density and nutrient application is not yet fully standardized in seed production. In the view of above facts study on Standardization of seed production techniques in browntop millet was undertaken at NSP, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru during rabi 2018 to popularize its importance. Twelve treatment combination were arranged in factorial randomised block design with three replications, which includes three spacing levels (S1 - 22.5 x 10 cm) , (S2 - 30 x 10 cm) and (S3 – 45 x 10 cm) four nutrient levels (N1 - 20:20:0, N2 - 20:20:10, N3 - 30:20:10 and N4 - 40:20:10 NPK kg ha-1 ). The results revealed that treatment combination (S3N4) with wider spacing and higher dose of nitrogen level recorded maximum growth, seed yield and quality attributes viz., plant height (113.26 cm), total number of tillers plant-1 (13.36), total number of productive tillers plant-1 (12.03), panicle weight plant-1 (28.5 g), seed yield plant-1 ( 26.5g), test weight (3.98 g), seed germination (92.53 %), seedling vigour index – I (1714) and SVI- II – (1139), EC (268.17 µS cm-1 ),seed protein content (11.25 % ) and over narrow spacing treatments with less nitrogen application (S1N1) registered (80.15 cm, 8.36, 7.03, 22.28 g, 21.5 g, 3.07 g, 83.6 %, 1435, 868, 372.30 µS cm-1 , and 10.65 % respectively) less values. | en_US |
